Chapter 1431: Chapter 782: Facing Shanghao and Walking Alone in Darkness!

Meng Chuan walked out of the virtual device room.

Standing by the window, he looked out through the windows of the treasured ground; it was already the morning of the second day.

Meng Chuan’s expression was slightly surprised; he hadn’t even noticed that he’d spent an entire day in the virtual world of the Dao Domain Network.

He pondered inwardly:

"From now on I still need to strictly regulate my usage time—no getting addicted. Aside from Enlightenment on virtual planets, at most I’ll collect some Cosmos intelligence each day, then immediately log off to cultivate.

No matter how attractive it is, it’s all fake; only the strength gained through cultivation is truly solid."

Once his thoughts settled, Meng Chuan walked out at a slow pace, stretching his arms as the sound of bones and tendons resonated together.

He picked up the phone beside him; his girlfriend had called last night, so he called her back immediately.

On the other end of the line came Yang Yuelian’s curious voice:

[How’s the Dao Domain Network? At Bai Venerable’s school they’ve also started installing virtual consciousness devices recently, it’s just a pity that each login to the Dao Domain Network can only host up to twenty people online at the same time. Your personal device is much more convenient—you can log in whenever you want.]

[Blue Star is currently limited by technology. As our contact with the Cosmos becomes more frequent, it will definitely be popularized, so don’t worry.] Meng Chuan comforted her a bit, then chuckled:

[As for the experience... it’s quite magical, kind of like that ’brain-computer interface’ scientists used to talk about all day long. Your consciousness roams in a virtual Cosmos; it’s pretty interesting.]

[That’s really nice.] Yang Yuelian’s tone carried obvious envy:

[Emei is also installing devices. When the time comes, we’ll be able to meet in the virtual world.]

[Alright, I’ll wait for you. Actually, once the smart-brain is installed, we can meet in the Fantasy Heaven Martial Realm.]

[Hehe, okay.]

In the end, Meng Chuan remembered the matter of the Pangu Divine Hall and warned her over the phone:

[Next I’m preparing to go into a small seclusion; I might be out of contact for a while.]

[It’s fine, cultivation is important. I’m going to work hard at standing postures too, first condense all my star meridians, catch up to you sooner, and break through to Grandmaster.]

After saying this, Yang Yuelian smacked several kisses against the phone before reluctantly hanging up.

Walking downstairs, Meng Chuan remotely sensed a Qi presence and quickened his steps.

"Principal Yang is here?"

"How was the Dao Domain Network experience?" Yang Huan sat on the sofa, his tone a bit sour:

"Tsk tsk, truly worthy of being the First Generation. I’m the principal and I still haven’t used a personal device, yet you’re already enjoying it."

"..."

Meng Chuan scratched his head, continuing to play dumb without saying anything.

"Alright, I’m teasing you. I tried it long ago. Give it another two years and I’ll be enjoying a personal device too."

Yang Huan beckoned him over to sit:

"I came today to warn you not to get addicted to the virtual world. Many gifted Dao Realm geniuses fell and never rose again because they became obsessed with the virtual world. The nation gave you priority installation so you could cultivate and seek Enlightenment there, not for pleasure."

"I understand."

Meng Chuan nodded in agreement.

He didn’t have the money to indulge anyway—he only had 9,000 Star Coins left, which he had to save for Enlightenment on virtual planets.

Spending all day in the Dao Domain Network yesterday was also for gathering intelligence and familiarizing himself with the environment, not for playing around.

In the end, Yang Huan talked to him again about matters concerning the Execution Bureau, then left. After seeing the principal off, Meng Chuan returned to the research institute and once again reminded the people below:

"All visitors must register first. I need to go into seclusion for a while, no one is to disturb me, including if my family comes."

"Understood."

This was adding another lock, another layer of insurance for his Transcendence.

His treasured ground was layered with restrictions; unless someone broke in by force, no one could discover that he had left the human world.

...

Meng Chuan returned to the treasured ground on the sixth floor. After checking that everything was in order, he sat down cross-legged on the floor.

After thinking for a moment, he got up again and walked into the virtual device room.

He locked the door and, without starting the device, sat directly on the chair.

"Leaving my physical shell here adds one more layer of insurance..."

The silvery-white Golden door and the walls all around the room were extremely hard; he didn’t know what material they were made of.

Anyway, with his ten-thousand-ton strength, he could only cause small deformations and couldn’t destroy them.

"Hu..."

He slowly adjusted his state to its peak; at the same time his brain was recalling the intelligence he had gathered, making final preparations.

"Around the Pangu Divine Hall, there exudes a ’Supreme Rule’ that devours Dao Principles and Laws—or rather, it itself is like a stellar-level Black Hole, an ultimate devouring celestial body.

Apart from the postnatal Dao of the flesh, and the Laws beneath the Dao of ’Opening Heaven and Earth, Eternal and Unique’, all other rule powers will suffer absolute suppression on Pangu Star."

The power of the Evolution Method was nailed down as unusable.

Aside from the ’Prajna Dragon Elephant’, anything involving the Water Great Dao such as the Celestial Abyss Skill, the Martial God Halberd of the weapon-strike path, including the ’Ascending the Tower’ Dao technique within it, would all be impossible to use.

He just didn’t know whether the capabilities of Martial Arts were sealed—for example, his Fourth Great Limit cultivation and Qi Blood.

On this point, Meng Chuan couldn’t learn anything from the intelligence, since he was the only human in the entire Cosmos who could enter the Pangu Divine Hall.

But even if those couldn’t escape suppression, his whole set of special traits shouldn’t be fully sealed...

All in all, with countless traits on his body, Meng Chuan still had an advantage.

If he could still exert Qi Blood power, that would be an enormous advantage!

With Dragon Demon and Elephant God guarding the treasured ground, after some thought Meng Chuan decided to bring only the veteran Xuanming along for Transcendence.

Xuanming had to restore its strength by relying on the Kidney-Water Qi of its own Inner World, so he had to bring it.

Just like during the life-and-death battle against Mo Jue on 8.26, at the critical moment, that old veteran could save his life.

Everything was ready.

Meng Chuan slowly closed his eyes; his body was trembling slightly.

It was his first time leaving Blue Star; even with his composure, he was feeling a bit excited, with a vague sense of anticipation.

"Come on..."
